Wilson drowned after his car was allegedly hit and knocked into a canal by multimillionaire polo magnate John Goodman. A lawyer for Wilson's mother said in a court filing that Goodman's adoption of his 42-year-old girlfriend was meant to disguise his true wealth should he be found liable and forced to pay punitive damages.

051910 (Lannis Waters/The Palm Beach Post) WEST PALM BEACH -- John Goodman enters Palm Beach County court Wednesday morning after being arrested. Goodman is charged with DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide, and failure to give information or render aid in a wreck. He was arrested in Miami after an arrest warrant was signed late Tuesday afternoon charging him in the February death of Scott Wilson, a 23-year-old engineer who drowned after his car was hit and knocked into a Wellington canal.

A Florida appeals court ruled Wednesday that a millionaire polo playboy from Houston cannot legally adopt his longtime girlfriend, only seven years his junior.

Precisely why John Goodman, the 49-year-old heir to an air-conditioning fortune, wanted to "adopt" Heather Hutchins was never entirely clear - money was at the center of it, though explanations differed - but that reason is now moot. A three-judge panel unanimously held that Goodman's failure to tell his ex-wife and his teenage children of the adoption until it was a done deal violated their right to due process.

Goodman was facing a Florida criminal trial last year for killing a fellow motorist while allegedly drunk when it was learned that he had adopted Hutchins, 42. His attorney explained that the unusual legal move had to do with estate planning. His two teenage children, however, claimed it was done so he could get his hands on some of the money in the trust fund he had set up on their behalf.

The fund's trustee and Goodman's ex-wife, the children's mother, filed a lawsuit asking that courts overturn the adoption. The Miami appeals court agreed.
